Removing the Blind (If Necessary)
Fully raise the blind.
To remove the valance with magnetic valance clips, see page 21.
To remove the valance with universal valance clips, see page 21.
Push up on the bottom of the end bracket to release the locking tab.
Grab underneath the headrail using both hands and carefully pull the blind out of the end
brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Like any fine furnishings, Hunter Douglas wood, alternative wood, and aluminum blinds
should be cleaned regularly to keep them looking new.
Wood, Alternative Wood, and Aluminum Blinds
Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth, or dusting mitt. Lower
the blind to its full length, tilt the slats almost all the way down, and dust. Then tilt the
slats almost all the way up and dust. (Not closing the slats all the way allows dusting
where the slats overlap.)
Blinds may also be vacuumed. Use the brush attachment and tilt the slats up and down as
described for dusting.
Another way to clean blinds is simply by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth.
Wood Blinds Only
Stained blinds, like wood furniture, should be treated periodically with lemon oil or other
wood preservative to protect their finish and enhance their luster.
Alternative Wood and Aluminum Blinds
Wash the slats only using a non-abrasive mild detergent solution. Allow to air dry to
preserve the dust repellent properties of the slats.
IMPORTANT: Hunter Douglas does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning of wood, alternative
wood, or aluminum blinds.
A Note About Wood Products
Hunter Douglas wood blinds are true wood products, made from 100% hardwood. There will
be variations in color, grain, and texture that are characteristic of all woods. These variations
will be especially visible in blinds with light color stains. The variations are normal and are
considered acceptable quality.
